Wenger’s Philosophy and Project Has Failed in the Worst Possible Manner

Despite being touted as the alchemist of world football who turns young talent from lead to gold, Wenger had a lot of eggs thrown on his face when his young guns were spanked comprehensively by his smarter rival, Sir Fergie.

There’s No Self Motivation Within the Squad When the Chips Are REALLY Down

Going 3-1 down at Old Trafford was the perfect score line for Manchester United to get sloppy and Arsenal to wake up.

As the second half began, Rosicky sent a teasing ball to young Aaron Ramsey in Man United’s box. He dallied on the ball and the chance went begging. If he made it 3-2 that early we would have had a game on our hands.

Johan Djourou and Laurent Koscielny Do Not Deserve to Start Week in and Week out

Thomas Vermaelen stands out as Arsenal’s best defender, but when he’s not on the pitch the defense lacks coordination. At times without number on Sunday, the Arsenal back line pushed too high and was exposed.

Arsenal has signed Per Mertesacker from Werder Bremen and he'll definitely bring a new dimension to the club's defense with his height.

Djourou and Koscielny will provide adequate back up in the worst injury crisis.

Wenger has said that he’s not quitting his job in the wake of his biggest defeat as a football manager.

A lot of football managers have been sacked for being at the end of such a dismal result while others have saved themselves the embarrassment by resigning from their post as managers, but Wenger has reiterated his desire to stay in the club...And win things.

Staying in the club? Yes.

Winning things with this present crop of players? You be the judge of that.

Fabregas was probably watching his darling Arsenal be torn to pieces by Manchester United, so his idol and the best football manager on Earth, Pep Guardiola, came to Wenger’s defense in the wake of the defeat.

He said a lot of things to the media vultures but here’s my pick of the bunch.

“You must remember Wenger has done great things with this club, Thanks to him, Arsenal is a great club. With so many injuries, those things can happen, especially against such a team as Man United.”

However, Arsenal’s captain Robin van Persie said that his team will not use injuries and suspensions as an excuse:

“We need to come back. We have Swansea in two weeks, which is a good opponent and I look forward to that.

"This was the strongest team we had on Sunday. We gave our maximum but it clearly wasn’t good enough.

"I don’t think we can hide behind injuries and suspensions. Its no excuse. They had injuries too. This is football."

He also took out time to talk about the Arsenal faithful that visited Old Trafford to cheer their team up:

“The fans were great. They were cheering us up all game for 90 minutes. We really appreciate that.

"Sometimes you see fans leaving early but I did not see that. We went to the fans to thank them after the game. It looked like every seat was full.
